"The Crescent Must be Above the Cross" - Gatestone Institute
Monday, December 19, 2016But he appealed the decision, so I can only hope for a quick sentence. Clearly radicalism runs in the family."Speaking for the first time about the slaughter of the 86-year-old French priest Jacques Hamel, eyewitness Guy Coponet -- who was himself stabbed several times, including in the neck, and was not expected to survive -- revealed how the jihadi murderers also forced him to hold a camera and record them slitting the throat of the elderly priest: "They even checked the quality of the image and that I wasn't trembling too much. I had to film the assassination of my friend Father Jacques!" He said the assailants planned on using the video as propaganda, "which would allow them to earn their fame as a 'martyr' of Allah."Meanwhile, Hungary became the first government in Europe to open an office specifically to address the persecution of Christians in the Middle East and Europe. Zoltan Balog, Hungary's Minister for Human Resources, said:"Today, Christianity has become the most persecuted religion, where out of five people killed [for] religious reasons, four... are Christians. In 81 countries around the world, Christians are persecuted, and 200 million Christians live in areas where they are discriminated against. Millions of Christian lives are threatened by followers of radical religious ideologies."This move came weeks after Prime Minister Victor Orban drew criticism in the EU by saying, "If we really want to help, we should help where the real problem is.... We should first help the Christian people before Islamic people."Around the same time -- and despite the many instances of Muslim migrants raping, murdering, and terrorizing Europeans -- Pope Francis urged Europeans to take in more Muslim refugees, including into their homes. He explained that the best way to combat terrorism is by warmly welcoming migrants and helping them integrate into the "European context."The rest of the bloody month of September's worldwide Muslim persecution of Christians includes, but is not limited to, the following:Muslim Attacks on Christian ChurchesKosovo: On September 10, Albanian Muslims in Pristina set fire to Christ the Savior Cathedral, "Immediately after the fire," notes the report, they "started using it [the church] as a toilet.... Since the Albanian Muslims took possession of this Orthodox land, hundreds of churches and monasteries have been burnt to the ground."Spain: On September 8, a Muslim refugee from North Africa "attacked and burned several images of the Virgin in the Church of Fontellas." One of the side chapels was completely destroyed and several statues were torched. Part of the ornamentation of the chapel ceiling fell, a...

Tackett of Huntington, Ind., one of the professional bowling's young stars, defeated popular veteran Tom Smallwood of Saginaw, Mich., 246-180, to win the PBA World Championship last Sunday at the National Bowling Stadium in a live telecast – which is rare these days. The win was worth $60,000.Tackett, PBA’s 2013 Rookie of the Year, won his first major championship and his fourth title of the 2016 season.Smallwood first gained fame in 2009, when as an out-of-a-job auto worker he turned to pro bowling. He earned an exemption to bowl on the Tour and ended up winning the 2010 PBA World Championship and the $50,000 prize.Kulick defends World titleKelly Kulick of Union, N.J., defended her title by winning the World Bowling Singles Championship at Doha, Qatar. She defeated 2016 Professional Women's Bowling Association Rookie of the Year, New Fui Fen of Singapore, 214-195.

Simpson: American Crime Story.IMAGINE THAT: Shahidi was about seven when she made her film debut—in the Eddie Murphy comedy Imagine That. “It was just such a fantastic experience. . . .

The sitcom’s popularity has stunned Shahidi: “I went to the White House three times within a month.”OLD SCHOOL: A podcast junkie, Shahidi says, “I used to listen to old radio shows like Johnny Dollar, Dragnet, [and] X Minus One. “I thought that was the most impressive type of acting—to be able to convey where you are, what you’re doing, and how you feel with just your voice.”HERO’S WELCOME: During a visit to Harvard University, Shahidi met with one of her idols, writer and professor Jamaica Kincaid. “I was telling her that I was reading her book in English class and was such a big fan.
